In submitting to the public the firt nrJnVors of I
the "American," it may be deemed iiicuinli t on j
uk a- tier rsiar jr an J proper lo make few observe- i
timi in relation in the etablihment of thia pr.es,
Hid ll, course which its conductors inti nd to pur
sue in its publication. Tie age in which we live
hue been truly styled the age of improvement,
whkh no power on earth can arret in in progress.
I'he Application of ateam to the various purposes
of at i, and the more recent discovery of melt
ing iron with anthracite coal, promisee to Pennsyl
vania result that cannot be too highly osti
mated. The great valley of the Susquehanna I noon dee
lined to Income the tlx Aire oft now c ne of en
terprize Mid industry, which may well excite the
astonishment of thoae who are unacquainted with
Li t inexhaustible df posile of Co I and iron. ,
Her rugged hill and solitary wastes, heretofore
deemed worthies, are now eagerly sought after for
the coal ai.d iron which they contain, the most
valuable minerals in nnturr. It has been said that
England owes her present power and wealth more
to her coal and iron than to all other -cause, com
bined. If so, then Penneylvunia has within her
own border internal resource and powers of wealth
unsurpassed by the whulo Union.
The Shamokin coal region, connected with this
place by a rulioad 20 milt-e in length, which a few
year unco was a eolit ry w ild, untrodden bv the
foot of man savu the solitary huiilct in pursuit of
game, ia now trrming with a nusy and industrious
population. The town of Wham. Win tot aled in the
coal legion, a new vi lago cant iiniog about one
' hundred bouses, bas sprung up aa if by magic,
aince that period,
Theae improvements which i re but a commence
ment til a series of woika upon a large scale now
in progress, recent as they are, have already gien
a new life and impetus to this svcliou of our coun-
With these views and under these considera
tions, we, in common with miry of our moat es
. teemed fellow citizens, coricoivod that will con
ducted journal, if propeily encouraged, could be
rendered highly serviceable to the communis. The
progress of improvement and th rapid increase of
population, mdted require that Hie preea should not
oidy keep pace with the spirit of enterprise and in-
dustiy, but aa a pioneer lead the way and ai iraulaie
to exertion the enterprising and wealthy capitalist.
Tho establishment of a new prce in thia place
tiaa frequently been spoken of, und wa. long since
in contemplation whencvei a f.vorablo opportunity
should occur. YVc believe that criod ba now ar-
rivcd. Our design la to make the American a per
manent and useful jourual, conveying useful and
mtcn sting information to all classes of reader
Conducted with the utmost decorum, its lone and
sentiments shall at all limes be auch, thai ti e most
scrupulous parent mny place it in the htmls of any
member of his family with prrf.ct in. purity. I,ow
ecurtility and violent personal abuse. ltail bo-care
fully txcludcd from its column?. And while we
ahull always be ready and prompt in the expression
of our opinions upon matters of ptiM.c policy, we
ah ill always endeavor to prrarrc that decorum
and extend that courtesy towards our roteinpor.trics
nd others, that one gentlemen has a iij;hi to expect
fiuin another.
To the interests of tho farmers t,nd cultivators of
the soil, the bone and sinew of cur country, who,
in an agricultural point of view, form the bais of
II trade, commerce and manufactures, we shall de
vote a portion of our columns, and spread before j
them such matter aa ahall be both useful and en- j
tcrtaining.
To the mechanic and oil other, we t'ust we
ehall be able to make the American an interesting
and instructive journal.
In politics we shall, as we h ive already an
nounced, support the general and eta'u hilmiiiistr,.
tions. In advocating the re-election nf Miitii
Vik Dcatit and Richard M, Juiivso to the
high stations which they now occupy, and which
they have filled with such distinguished abUilics,
we shall coufine ourselves to me.iure and the
principles upon which ihey are grounded. Recrim
ination and low personal abuse which the rancor
of political warfaie never fails lo produce, and
which we regret lo say is indulged in t.i an almost
unlimited extent, by the partizan pnss of richer
aide, we ahull cairlully avoid, deeming it not only
demoralizing lo the community and derogatory to
the high character of the pic, but unwise, iin-.
politic and unjust.
To our fearless and patriotic Governor David R.
Porter, who haa thus far iilci.tili.d himself with
the true interests of the stale, an.i whoa- wise and
salu'aiy measures have received the appro' atioo of
every honest a'.d liberal mind, we shall exieud our
most cordial support. We huvo tin rt fore placed
his name at the head of our column, lully confi
dent that the honest yeumamy of Pennsylvania
w ill always be found sustaining honesty of purpose
and integrity of conduct in a justly valu 1 public
servant.

Kiilurriny lvriiJnx Post,
we sta e.l that the par circulated so widely a
mong the Mea.ly, reading poriiou of ihe Unit, d
Slates, thai we entered upon our li bnrs with full
confid no? nf the future. Our success has since
been beyo'i.l onr most annguine expectation, nsoiu
weekly rrc lpts nverbahince those of any coten.po-
ary apnr, Our i. t has continued to swell up,
with unexampled rapidity, and we have the confi
d.nce, fiol at the present rate of increase, wo shall
be enabled in a few months to boaal of more tlnn
3-r),0(l0 suhscrilvers ! When we commenced our
lab .rs, w,- announced distinctly, that ihe time of the
paiter shoul I be decidedly moral, and that not bin it
ahou'd be adm ttod Into otir columns, which the
tnosl fas'ldtoiis father Could disapprove of. and dv
term m-d that as an approved Family Paper, it
should not contain a paragraph, with the spirit of
wtiic.n a parent would not wiah t have, a dnugbter
familiar, and we therefore, with this view, announ
ced that no theatrical notices should appear in our
e lumns, and that we should lie npiavsed to the t't s
as thing-, calculated to injure the healthy action of
an ht.nes' nilntl. as creative ol exnihiuona dem.t
ralizing in tendency, nnd fearfulHr pernicious in
fact. There were not wanting blusterers, who
made a great parade of opposition, and Crotkers.
who pretlieted our a-eetly downfall, but we threw
our elves neon the sober, rational and experienced
pmli n of the people of the United States for sui-
port, and we have been noMy aus'ained.
We t'.oujht and expressed Ihe opinion, that
howt ver c .relens many might he upon this subject,
thai few, even if tl ey did not cr.liiely disapprove
nf such entertainments, ctred alout having the
gr.Ms details forever paraded before the eyes of
tlicr rlniilren. and Iho sn kening end nauseating
c-ilosy t.r all kinds of characters made f . miliar to
their mind.4.
We d'termineel olso. th.nt while ibe paper con
tinued under our control, it should he strictly neu
tral in polities, and that as netvs mi l li'erury jour
nnlists we had nnth ng to do with ihe m tiler t thia
det'Tmi "lion hnsb. en strictly and rigidly adhered
to, nnd while ue ahall continue to give our roul, rs
such public document as may br deemed of into
rest to all, and auch a I tttory of Ihe progress of
I o'lt cl events, are strictly in keeping with our
duly, and the character of the paper, we rhall stu
diously and horoughly avoid any contamination of
panizn politics.
The paper is now printed in new and beauti
ful type, haa received Ihe praise nf many editors of
ImsIo, as 'the handsomest Ismilv sheet in Ihr In ion.
Our efforts have been directed to tho combining
of beauty ar.d stmplirty with Utility and ta-le.
Tho Post is printed on stout vh le paper, ren
dering it neat and d r.ble for filing.
In sd 'ition to these i Iforts towsrd perfection in
the mich inteal department, and exterior of our pa
per, no la'.Kir. and no cost been spared in the de
velopenient of int. II. ctusl strength. The present
va.ie'y of inletcs'trig tales, original, from foieign
and domes'ic magazines, together with the valua
ble coi.tnbu ions of our own circle of hlerary
friends will continue to give interest to ihe paper,
while everything important and worthy of note that

The Ladies Department shall always be choice

ululion resident without tho confines of our great
cities 1 he state of the mnkcls and the fluclua
lious in ihe price-., will be regularly ami what ia of
more moment, correctly given.
Y e have ever been opposed to the constant
bluater and pan.de made by some editors, shout
the excellence of th. ir speis, and have resolved
that the alurd y Eveiiir-g Post, shall be deduct
ed, aa to speak for itself.
Our renters Mill always find in Us columns the
earliest and met authentic information.es well
the most choice and rnleitaining literary matter.
We hrve totully discarded the i-y.to n ot filling ihe
paper vi h quack adveilinCinentK, but prefer giving
nut re d. is from wetk to week, eiiiertsining read
ing matter.
And we f el ss-urel thst we shall be no losers
thereby, as but few readers care about having a pn er
Gded with descriptions of these nauseating com
pound,". The Saturday Etening Post, will be furnished
for $2 per annum in adv,,nre. or one copy three
